7I have been as a wonder to many, for you are my refuge and strength.
8All the day long my mouth is filled with your praise and your glory.
9Cast me not off in the time of old age; when my strength is spent, forsake me not.
10For my foes whisper against me, they who watch me take counsel together;
11“God has left him,” they say: “pursue and seize him, for he is helpless.”
12O God, be not far from me, haste, O my God, to my help.
13Put my foes to shame and dishonour, with insult and shame be they covered.
14But I will never stop hoping, and more and yet more will I praise you.
